Demo - http://sharedname.org/page/Meetings/2009-04-29/Demo
5 servers - one "master" - databases switched to Restsync. Uses Mysql synchronization
http://demo.sharedname.org/local - multiple 'a' records, so round robins servers
"/n/" - top level domain on purl.oclc.org
"/n/pmid/" - won't allow more specific parts, so html in the middle (will be fixed)
Demo showed different redirects to pubmed documents
Harold: Why not content negotiation? Alan: What are the constraints on content negotiation - every URI doesn't content negotiate because content negotiation is (a) evil, and (b) http specific.
NOTE: Spec has to make content negotiation responses explicit.
Olivier - What if I make an annotation and want to use this as an annotation. I don't care if it is asn, xml, etc? Alan: (Showed top level URL and "about" redirect)
Two names -
- no encoding the record without commitment to version or encoding. Returns redict (303) to "about record
- about record - typically subject headings, etc. What this record is about.
Olivier: - what if there are multiple sources of pubmed? Alan: Would have mirror and authoritative identifiers. Other types of record that talk about subject matter? If something like refseq that has versions, versioning information might be here as well.
Harold: What about translations from existing links to shared names? A: on the roadmap, but not now. Harold, Benjamin and ??? volunteered to investigate reverse requirements and technology.
Q: how about additions for local enhancements and annotation? A: local is fine, but if common servers have non-standard behavior, then preferences will be for particular servers, so will not be supported in published services
Q: What of provenance information? A: Might have multiple links to, say, different rdfizations of this, but will need provenance information.
- http://ashby.csail.mit.edu/cgi-bin/obiterm?ref=OBI_0000225 (link to ontology link) Include client side stylesheet transform. (Interesting - stylesheet does RDF) also mention of DOAP
Can have database records about a thing before its been ontologized. Strictly speaking, it is out of scope but ...
- http://mumble.net:8080/cgi-bin/nagios2/status.cgi - system for checking host monitoring, etc.
- Example of how to curate and translate into html and RDF in a wiki (off of the page)
- Templates are generated directly and loaded the wiki defined templates.
- Can open in Protégé RDF editor as well (???)
